Winners: Two pairs recently took home top honors in Sandy Creek Central Schools Top Chef competition.

Appetizer, main dish or dessert dishes must be prepared with less than 10 ingredients, contain no unfamiliar ingredients or alcohol, be prepared with classroom kitchen equipment and be a new, untested creation.
